Motor Selection
The MBC10101 AC is a Bipolar Microstep Driver that is compatible with both Bipolar and Unipolar motors
(i.e. 8 and 4 lead motors and 6 lead motors).
Step motors with low current ratings and high inductance will perform better at low speeds, providing
higher low-end torque. Motors with high current ratings and low inductance will perform better at higher
speeds, providing more high-end torque. Higher voltages will cause the current to flow faster through the
motor...

When configuring the motor in a series configuration (connected from end to end with the
center tap floating) use the specified per Phase (or unipolar) current rating to determine the
current setting potentiometer value.
Determining Output Current
The output current for the motor used when microstepping is determined differently from that of a full/half
step unipolar driver. In the MBC10101 AC, a sine/cosine output function is used in rotating the motor. The
output current for a...

4 Lead Motors
Multiply the specified series motor current by 1.4 to determine the current adjustment potentiometer
value. Four Lead Motors are usually rated with their appropriate series current, as opposed to the Phase
Current, which is the rating for 6 and 8 lead motors.
8 Lead Motors
Series Connection: When configuring the motor windings in series, use the per Phase (or unipolar)
current rating to determine the current setting potentiometer value.
Parallel Connection: When...
